The sun was shining brightly, and the three men and three horses were galloping on the way to Alashan, kicking up bursts of dust along the way.
After running for a whole day, at dusk in the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang saw that the sun was about to set, and a large mountain deep into the high-altitude clouds and mist appeared in the distance.
In front of him was an empty flat land with no grass growing, and the surrounding ground was all covered with gray-white volcanic ash, so he asked loudly.
Said: "Gatea, how far is it from Raphael's lair?"
Gatea pointed to the tall mountain in front of him and said, "Have you seen that mountain?
That's Mount Ala.
His lair is there.
It's about fifty miles away."
Zhao Ziliang knew this truth very well.
He immediately stopped by a dead tree that had been dead for who knows how many years and said: "We can't make it before dark.
Let's spend the night here today and set off again early tomorrow morning."
The three people immediately dismounted and tied the horses to a dead tree.
They took off the blankets from the horses and spread them on the ground.
They also picked up some dead branches from the surroundings and piled them together.
Zhao Ziliang ordered Gatea to feed the horses.
Taoist Master Qingsong held a fly whisk and stared at the distant Ala Mountain.
He walked around again, squatting on the ground from time to time to check something.
When he returned to the dead tree, he said to Zhao Ziliang: "I'm afraid it has already entered La Pei."
You have reached your sphere of influence.
Look around here.
Although Alashan has had a volcanic eruption, it has caused There were a lot of casualties, but this place is fifty miles away from Ala Mountain.
After the volcanic eruption, the surrounding land is usually very fertile, but here there is no grass.
I just checked, and there are many bones of birds and beasts, as well as human bones nearby.
I'm afraid it was caused by Raphael's evil magic."
At this time, Gaetia had already fed the horse and came over and said: "You are right, this place has entered Raphael's sphere of influence.
This is a ruthless old man with extremely cruel methods."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Compared to you?"
Gatea sneered: "Although I robbed homes and killed countless people, I was not as cruel as he devoured the flesh, blood and souls of ordinary people."
After the firewood was lit, Zhao Ziliang, Qingsong and Gaitea took out the lamb legs and roasted them on the fire.
Zhao Ziliang asked while roasting: "Taoist priest, do you have any taboos?"
Qingsong smiled and said: "Although Taoism advocates purity of mind and few desires, it does not prohibit meat and fish like Buddhism.
But at the level of Pindao, Qike has no special need for food.
And you are different from us.
You are a Taoist and martial arts practitioner. , have special needs for food that far exceed those of others.”
The three of them were talking when suddenly there was an annoying bird call of "quack, quack, quack" overhead.
They all looked up and saw a black crow appearing on the dead tree next to them.
"Oh no, it's really unlucky," Zhao Ziliang cursed.
His expression was startled just after he finished cursing, "Hey, that's not right."
At this time, the crow on the dead tree screamed again, climbed up with its legs, spread its wings and flew in the direction of Ala Mountain.
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air.
Suddenly, an invisible hand appeared in the air and grabbed it.
The black crow was about to fly away, Gaetia was still stunned, but the black crow exploded with a "bump" of its own accord, but not a single feather fell, and not a trace of flesh and blood was splashed.
The black crow disappeared completely in the explosion.
Without a trace.
Gaetia came back to his senses and said to Zhao Ziliang and Qingsong: "This should be Raphael's dark pet, used to monitor the territory and detect the enemy's situation.

It seems that our arrival has alarmed him and aroused his vigilance."
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Ala Mountain, which was already in the hazy night, and said, "Taoist Priest, it seems we don't have time to spend the night here.
We must rush to Ala Mountain immediately."
Qingsong nodded and said: "Yes, delaying for one night will definitely give Raphael enough time to prepare."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "This is not the most important thing.
I'm worried that Rapel, feeling the urgency of time, will attack the caravan guards and absorb their blood essence to recover from injuries and improve strength."
Qingsong stood up and said: "It's not too late, let's set off immediately.
By the way, Pindao forgot to tell you that these guards of yours have experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield, and their murderous aura has reached a certain critical level.
As long as they form The formation amplifies this murderous intent to the limit and can resist ordinary spell attacks by breaking through the shackles.
Moreover, this murderous intent attack honed by killing enemies on the battlefield can cause damage to monks."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang was stunned.
He obviously didn't know that this was happening.
He nodded and said: "The Taoist Master is indeed a master of Taoism.
Okay, I understand.
Let's eat first.
After eating, we will be on our way."
The three of them ate very quickly.
Zhao Ziliang had a great need for meat and had a good tooth.
He gnawed the mutton on the leg of lamb with big mouthfuls.
His mouth was full of oil.
Gaitea was also a foodie and he also ate one.
Whole leg of lamb.
After eating, the three of them got on their horses and galloped towards Ala Mountain overnight.
The three of them worked hard and arrived at the foot of Ala Mountain in less than an hour.
The three of them tied their horses to an upright rock.
Zhao Ziliang looked up at the hazy Ala Mountain in the night and asked, "This Ala Mountain is not small.
Gaitea, do you know the specific location of Rapel's castle?"
Where is it?"
Gatea shook his head and said: "I don't know.
I've never been here before.
This area is deserted.
I can't find anyone if I want to ask for directions."
"Wait for Pindao to investigate" As he spoke, Taoist Master Qingsong took out a magic talisman from his arms and folded it into a paper eagle.
After folding the paper eagle, he threw it into the air and said, "Go."
The paper eagle was thrown high into the sky and turned into a ball of flame.
When the flames dissipated, a numb-colored eagle appeared, flapped its wings several times and disappeared into the night.
The three of them stood there waiting quietly.
Qingsong closed his eyes and raised his right hand in front of his chest to make a gesture.
It seemed that although the eagle had flown away, it was still in contact with him.
The area of Alashan is not small, and it will take some time to fully explore it.
At some point, Qingsong was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes still closed, and his right hand still placed on his chest to maintain the same gesture.
Zhao Ziliang and Gate At this time, Ya was feeding the horses with beans.
The area was full of bare limestone and volcanic ash, without a single hair.
The horses could not eat any wild grass here and could only be fed with beans.
If he hadn't stood here in person, Zhao Ziliang would never have imagined that there was such a dead place in the world.

This place was lifeless and lifeless, probably even more desolate than hell, which at least still had the dead.
After feeding the horse, Zhao Ziliang began to change his equipment.
The leather armor on his body disappeared and was replaced by a set of dark battle armor, purple silk boots on his feet, and the ordinary escort's waist knife on his waist was also replaced by a strange-looking one.
The blood-red sword, armor, purple silk boots, cloak and sword are all extraordinary.
This set is a combat weapon, forged by dozens of powerful people and strangers from the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty. , each one cannot be completed by a single monk.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this suit of armor looks very good.
Where did it come from?
I didn't see you taking it as a salute just now."
Gaitea walked around Zhao Ziliang and couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Gaetia and ignored him.
He took out the spinning knife and pressed the button in the middle.
Several curved blades popped out from the edge of the disc.
Then he pressed the button on the back, and the blades retracted in an instant with a "swish".
After going back and trying several times, Zhao Ziliang inserted it into the cowhide box on his waist.
Gaetia couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw this thing.
This thing had killed many of his bandits.
As long as he threw it out, waiting for it to circle around and then fly back, it would definitely take away a dozen or two lives.
At the same time, there were also Many weapons and armors suffered devastating damage.
Without the magic weapon armor, there is no way to stop its attack.
Moreover, its attack direction and location are hard to guard against, and it is simply terrifying.
"Found it" Qingsong opened his eyes and stood up and said.
"Then please ask the Taoist priest to lead the way."
The location of the castle is not remote, but its location is a bit strange.
It is located on a cliff, and the entire castle looks like it is embedded in the cliff.
When the three of them came to the cliff, they all looked up.
Zhao Ziliang said: "A lot of manpower was used to build this castle, and many people died.
It is so difficult for the wizard to build a castle on a cliff."
It is true that our magic power is unpredictable, but if you want to cast magic out of thin air to create such an ancient castle, it is absolutely impossible without magical means."
Qingsong looked at it and nodded: "Yes, this castle was indeed built by humans.
It's strange for me.
Westerners seem to be very keen on building various temples, palaces and castles, and almost all of them are built of stone."
"This is a reflection of the West's own civilization, let's go," Zhao Ziliang said, turning his body and disappearing.
Immediately afterwards came Taoist Master Qingsong, who turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the air.
Gaetea stared at them both with eyes as big as copper bells, and suddenly became anxious: "Hey, hey, how can I get up there?"
A word floated in the air: "Climb up."
"Damn it, how could you do this?"
Gatea cursed and stepped towards the cliff.
He pushed his legs hard, and his body flew towards the cliff like a cannonball.
Although he looked extremely strong and a little clumsy, on the cliff He was extremely flexible when he climbed up.
In almost a few breaths, he jumped on the cliff and arrived at the open space in front of the castle.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang and Taoist Qingsong were already standing in the castle.
In front of the two stone doors.
Twelve thick Roman-style columns were erected side by side on both sides of the gate to support the high-rise outer eaves of the castle above.
At this time, lights suddenly lit up on both sides of the gate.
They were two lights hanging on the wall.

The lights emitted when they burned.
The light looks blue and cold through a hazy lampshade.
Gaetia came over with a solemn expression and said: "That is the eternal soul lamp.
This lamp is made of human ribs as the bracket, covered with a layer of human skin to prevent wind.
The human soul is used as the lamp oil, and the human skull is used as the oil pot."
"Not everyone can afford this eternal soul lamp.
Master Rapel is really generous, and he actually greeted us with such high standards of etiquette."
Bathed in the light of this eternal lamp for the soul, the whole person feels refreshed
